Not sure what you mean by confuse VMM, but there isn't any way to move
around disk images in virt-manager. If you create a guest with disk at
/foo/disk.img, then move the image to /bar/disk.img, the old libvirt
guest configuration won't know where the disk is anymore.

You can remove the virtual disk from the VM in virt-manager, then add a
new virtual disk pointing to the new path. Or you can use 'virsh edit
vmname' from the command line and change the path.
